Is not responsible for any damages due to external causes, including but not limited to, improper use, problems with electrical power, accident, neglect, alteration, repair, improper installation, or improper testing. TNN 500AF 2 Features TNN 500AF is the world’s first truly noiseless high-end computer case, developed with heatpipe technology, HSC(Heat Source Contact) power technology, High Capacity Extrusion technique, and FMS (Flexible Mounting Structure) design technology by ZALMAN Tech Co., Ltd. The TNN 500AF package contains a high performance aluminum computer case with an absolutely noiseless cooling solution for the CPU, VGA Card, Power Supply, and Northbridge free of fans, making it ideal for storage servers, workstations, high-end home systems, and sound studio English computer systems. 4 1) Complete Silence The cooling system does not generate any noise because it does not utilize any fans. Even the HDD noise is blocked out by the sturdy aluminum plates 5 to 7mm thick, achieving completely silent computing. 2. Features 2) Stability ① No Fans in the System The majority of heat generated inside the system is transferred through heatpipes to the heatsink plates where it is dissipated via natural convection, reducing inflow of dust dramatically. Consequently, this prevents system crashes caused by dust buildup and fan failures (fans last around 20,000 to 50,000 hours). ② High-Capacity Aluminum Heatsink Plates for Natural Convection Two large aluminum heatsink plates cool heat generating components, such as the CPU and VGA Chipset, through natural convection. Without any moving parts, the TNN 500AF is virtually free of the need for mechanical maintenance, and it is 100% recyclable, making it environmentally friendly. TNN 500AF ③ Heat Transfer via Heatpipes Virtually ever-lasting heatpipes transfer heat away from the CPU, VGA chipset, and Northbridge chipset preventing system crashes due to over heating. - CPU Heatpipes Heat from the CPU is transferred to the heatsink plate through 6 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in diameter. The six heatpipes can transfer up to 150W of heat English from the CPU - sufficient for the hottest CPUs on the market. The CPU Block Base is made of pure copper 5 to ensure the highest cooling performance. CPU Heatpipes - VGA Card Heatpipes Heat from the VGA Card is transferred to the heatsink plate through 3 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in 2. Features diameter. The three heatpipes can transfer up to 75W of heat from the VGA chipset - sufficient for the hottest VGA cards on the market. VGA Card Heatpipes - Northbridge Heatpipe Heat from the Northbridge chipset is transferred to the heatsink plate through a single heatpipe, 5 millimeters in diameter. This heatpipe can transfer up to 20W of heat. Northbridge Heatpipe ③ Heat Transfer via Rear-mount Thermal Blocks When the Rear-mount Thermal Blocks are installed on the back-side of the motherboard in line with the position of the FETs (Field Effect Transistor) and the Northbridge chipset, each can lower the FET Rear-mount Thermal Blocks temperature by 10 to 30°C and the Northbridge chipset by 5 to 10°C. TNN 500AF ⑤ High-Efficiency, Fanless Power Supply The power supply uses high-efficiency FET components and Heat Source Contact (HSC) technology, eliminating the need for a fan, and has a 10% higher power conversion efficiency (80%) rating than conventional power supplies. Heat from the power supply is transferred directly to the high-capacity heatsink plates, where it is dissipated by natural convection, making the power supply free of noise and English vibration. 6 - High-capacity active PFC inductors, separate switching transformers for each power rail (+12V, +5V, +3.3V), and 2-FET forward converter design all work to create a superior level of stable power quality. - Conventional power supplies tend to have lower output voltage due to line-dropping phenomenon. The TNN Power Supply extends the output voltage sensors up to the motherboard connection for +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails to prevent this, enhancing 2.

Measurement specifications : For each DC output, a bypass made up of one 0.1μF ceramic capacitor and one 10μF electrolytic capacitor is connected and measured with an oscilloscope (input impedance 1MΩ) at a frequency bandwidth of 20MHz. The waveforms may differ under different measurement conditions. 3) Electricity Conservation Since TNN 500AF is equipped with a high-efficiency power supply and does not use any fans, it utilizes 10 to 15% less power compared to a conventional computer system under the same configuration. TNN 500AF 4) Ease of Use ① A latch is installed to prevent component theft. ② The Remote Control enables the user to ❶❷conveniently experience multimedia content and control the PC. ③ Various I/O ports are provided (Audio, USB, IEEE-1394, 1394B) English ④ Heatpipe HDD Cooler dissipates heat 7 ❸ from the hard disk and reduces vibration transferred to the case. ❹ ⑤ Four casters (wheels) withstand up to four metric tons of weight in total, and have skid prevention / height adjustment ❺ features built in. 2. Features ⑥ The case is structured to easily house up to two ODDs and five HDDs. ⑦ Retractable handles are attached for ❻ ❼ short-range transportation. 5) Shielding from EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) The sturdy, thick (5 to 7mm) aluminum case and the EMI Interception Block effectively contain EMI. Even the power supply housing is designed with EMI shielding.

  • Building an HTPC - I Haven’T Actually Built One Yet, but Some People May Find These Thoughts Useful
    Thoughts on Building a Home Theatre PC Introduction This document outlines my thoughts on building an HTPC - I haven’t actually built one yet, but some people may find these thoughts useful. Why build an HTPC? The usual answers to this question centre around convergence of all the media formats in your home (CD, DVD, TV etc.) into a single device thereby making control/access easier. In my case there were a couple more reasons: • We have a High Definition TV – but we are only using Standard Definition inputs (TV and DVD) • It would provide a server for home use (accessed by the other notebooks in the house). High definition video could come from one or more of the following sources: • Blu-ray • Freesat HD • Freeview HD • Pay TV service (Sky or Virgin Media) So, what would it cost to simply buy a Blu-ray player and a Freesat recorder? • Blu-ray player £135 • Freesat HD (500GB) recorder £290 Therefore, we could get equivalent HD functionality by spending £425. Alternatively, we could get the superseded models of Panasonic’s do-it-all HD recorder for around £500, or the new models for £830. Of course, the Panasonic’s allow recording onto Blu-Ray media, so they aren’t an exact substitute. So, the above give a reasonable budget to work with. Can we build an HTPC for similar money that will provide equivalent functionality? Criteria General What do we want this HTPC to do? What are the limitations we have to work within? Here is one list: • Must play all existing media (FLAC, WMA, AC3) • Must add Blu-ray and FreeSat HD sources • Must allow recording of FreeSat • Must be unobtrusive in the living area ◦ Maximum size of 445 x 370 x 134 (WxDxH) ◦ Must be (nearly) silent ◦ Must not be garish • Does not require gaming ability.
